Actors and Actress playing a Musical Instrument

We know some actors, whether they know how to play a musical instrument or not, they observe the actual musicians carefully and imitate them as much they can. I like Shivaji Ganesan and Kamalhassan in this matter very much.
In an interview saxophonist Kadri said that the way Prabu played sax was very good and it was very natural. Some actress can actually play musical instrument well. I've heard that Gowthami is very good in Piano. And also I've seen her piano playing in one movie. It was very nice.
But at the same time you must have noticed some actors do not imitate well. I'd like you to list some songs where the actors/actress play any musical instrument and pass comments on them. We'll have fun!

few examples:

Kanpona pokkile: MGR on Piano (Horrible)
Engeyum Epodhum: Rajinikanth on Bass Guitar (Interesting!)
Pudhucheri Katcheri: Kamalahassan playing many instruments (Excellent!)

Person who play Veena knows how bad our heroins play Veena. I do not know much about veena but I could make out that the way they play is horrible!!

  ALL ABOVE ,
  
  IN OLDEN DAYS THE ACTORS CAME FROM POOR ECONOMIC BASE, THEN THERE IS NOT POSSIBLITY TO LEARN INSTRUMENT, SO TRY TO AVOID COMMENT ON THEM, THEY DID WHAT THERI DIRECTOR SAID, SO DON'T SHOW YOUR OVER INTELLIGENCE, IN THE MEDIA, AND WHEN U R BLAMMIN AND MAKING FUN WITH THEM FIRST THINK ABOUT URSELVES, DEBET SHOULD BE ABOUT FUTURE INDIA, OR PRESENT INDIA ON THE ALL GATEGORIES, LIKE CINEMA, POLITICS, ETC, NOT ABOUT THE PAST. U CAN SAY MGR DON'T KNOW ACTING, SHIVAJI OVERACTING,ETC. BUT IT SHOULD BE AFTER KNOW ALL THE DETAILS ABOUT THEIR LIFE CYCLE
  
  GOOD BYE
  
  HAVE A NICE DAY

  The movie Boys was good in this sense...
  
  Krishna played the drum well : while playing for girls around him, at the stadium for maaro maaro, and the secret of success song scenes , the aiyappan song rehearsal scece as well.. even the saavadi scenes were real.
  
  Juju played keyboard well too in all the scenes..
  
  Bob Galey's guitaring was ok, no too bad...
  
  i think the reason is because shankar took real life musicians for the respective roles..

  i like a song "naan vaanavillaiye paarthen"
  in the interlude of that song,sarathkumar tries to break the violin,saying that he is playing violin.whenever the song broadcasted in tv my friends says"yow paavamyaa atha vittuduyaa"!!.
  
  Y.G.Mahendra is a good mirudhangam player.i saw a tv interview in podhigai,YGM is playing mirudhangam for KJY.
